A stylish horror flick that was worth the price of admission

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2003)

Let me start by saying that I have never liked a single horror movie in my life. Horror/thriller movies are usually cheap, poorly-written and terribly over-acted.
28 Days Later broke that sad, and often laughable, trend. This film is stylish and relatively thought-provoking, and though it does have some plot problems, I was able to overlook those. Normally, I cannot overlook plot holes or inconsistencies, but in 28 Days Later the problems were far outweighed by the intriguing writing, creepy cinematography and believable acting.
I have a severe inability to suspend disbelief, but 28 Days Later was so unique I couldn't help but get caught up in the story. So "Bravo!" for not using A-list actors, not candy-coating the harsh post-apocalyptic setting, and most of all... "Bravo!" for creating a horror movie with style.
